Do you think it's possible for psychopaths to feel fear?
I'd like to try an experiment of psychological torture to a group of psychopaths to see how they'd respond.
I grew up in a household as a military brat (Army Secret Squirrel stuff - you know by my reference what I mean) where my father later became an interrogator in Law Enforcement. My brother is an interrogator for the Army now, on a remote island :) I'm in a security related field myself.
Point is, we know how to break people down. It's in our blood.
I truly believe that the majority of "psychopaths" are just spoiled brat individuals who take advantage of societies social structure. And with enough encouragement, you will find emotions.
Has anyone heard or seen any types of medical testing where this is attempted? I'd love to read some reports or see before and after brain scans of a psychopath who has gone through a long term interrogation scenario.
Psychopaths feel most emotions just like everyone else. They just don't usually have much empathy. Plus, nobody you know has ever done any "Army Secret Squirrel stuff".

I like to read a lot of these self-proclaimed psychopaths on Quora. They love to reiterate how they have "no emotions, except for maybe fight or flight responses"
I cannot believe that, if it were true they'd have no likes an interests either.

Psychopaths absolutely feel emotions, but not in the same was as the rest of us. They quite often have diminished responses where empathy and sympathy are concerned and are extremely proficient at finding justification in their actions to avoid things like guilt or feelings of accountability for their actions. As an example, I had a friend who tricked his parents (who were retired and had moved a few thousand kilometers away) that he was starting university and needed money for that; tuition, books and so forth. They sent him around 5k, four times a year, for nearly eight years.
He never had any remorse about that, he had convinced himself that he was 'above' working a regular job (he had been sponging off family for years previously) and that money was owed to him. In reality, he was a spoiled only child and felt extremely entitled to his parent's resources, which led him to find all kinds of ways to manipulate them into giving him more and more. He only started to feel bad about it when they cut him off and started asking questions about graduation. He eventually did find a job, but I cut contact with him before the whole thing ended, so I'm not sure how the endgame played out there. I do know that he was VERY nervous about getting caught though; there were tax consequences he hadn't taken into account (he hadn't payed taxes in like eight years) and he had an accountant on his ass as a result.
The whole thing was really eye-opening. He had lied about having jobs the entire time I knew him, made himself unavailable between certain hours, the whole thing. He actually carried that lie very convincingly and had a LOT of us fooled. In the end though, he ended up fearful and panicky pretty much all the time.
